-26th-
Court today. Hearing Mozollon Ex. Co. v. Richards
Howard for plft. & Sullivan for defendant.
My neck is hurting me badly & nearly disabling
me from work. I am wearing porous plaster &
will try hot water bottle tonight. Grand jury
trying to indict Comr. Whipple while McGinn is
absent. This is most wonderful climate
I know of - it does not get warmer than 10° above -
a range of only 55°! There are patches
of snow all summer lying not a thousand
feet above sea level. The Indians in the
case of the Indian murderer are about to fail
as witnesses for fear that if he is found guilty
he will be hung. They would be willing to
tell the truth if he was only to go to the penitentiary
but if he is to hang they will be dumb. The
Marshal has engaged Miss Mary Wagner,
a thorough Aleut scholar to act as interpreter
in the case - no one else competent.
